    Description: Date/time parsing for the control freak

Date/time parser for Ruby with the following features:
    Extensible with custom formats and tokens.
    It’s pretty fast. Up to 60% faster than Time/Date parse method.
    Control the parser strictness.
    Control behaviour of ambiguous date formats (US vs European e.g. mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yy).
    I18n support (for months), if I18n gem loaded.
    Fewer WTFs than Time/Date parse method.
    Has no dependencies.
    Works with Ruby MRI >= 2.2
Extracted from the validates_timeliness gem, it has been rewritten cleaner and much faster. It’s most suitable for when you need to control the parsing behaviour. It’s faster than the Time/Date class parse methods, so it has general appeal.

I intend on maintaining this under the Debian Ruby umbrella.

Thanks,
